Your Character's Name: Mercury Steele The Voice of the Delta
“These times are some of the hardest the world has ever seen. Any man with two eyes can see that. What most men can’t see--better yet won’t see, is what’s around the bend. The world didn’t come to no end outta the damn blue. Sure, the plague wasn’t something them boys in the lab coats had seen before, but that don’t mean its something new to mother nature. She’s been around for a looong time, boy. And I’ll tell ya’s what. If you sit still for a minute and listen to her, Oooooh boy, she’ll say a lot. That’s what I am. I’m the voice of this here very earth.”
“The Big River carved its way into the soft land here thousands of years ago. Its force slowly eroding away the soil, one trickle at a time. It kept workin’ on the land and workin’ on the land. Patience. That’s what mother nature has. Now look at the river. See its rushing waters deep and wide across the land, commanding respect. That patience is what earned mother nature the right to be respected. And them ol’ boys up river, I think they call themselves the Big River Runners. With their drug factories. Pushing out all that toxic junk into the water like they have the right to. They’re playin’ a dangerous game with her, disrespecting her like that.”
“That’s exactly what I’m talkin’ about. All’s they can think about is how much booze they can git with them drugs they’re makin’. Those who don’t learn from their ancestors’ mistakes are doomed to live in perpetual folly. Those fools are doin’ just that. And not only are they disrespecting mother nature, but they is poisoning their own people downstream. And what’s worse? The damn mayor won’t lift a finger because he’s addicted to the garbage. Ohh Lord. You see that’s why I am always singing the Delta Blues. This city here is a mess. And if someone don’t do something about it soon, this whole place is going to get wiped from the this earth.”
